entry 7

* are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? or disturbing? or memorable? describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.

To be honest, there were many places and setting to be beautiful, but the story made these places felt disgusting. In the story, a boy called Simon accidentally found the beautiful place in the island and he enjoyed it privately. The flowers and tress were spread out on the soil that seemed really beautiful. But there was a sow’s head in there with the flies on and that made a great meaning. Simon got faint in the area with sow’s head and he tried to go to his friends what he saw in there, but Simon got killed because his friends saw him as a beast. The setting was really ironic and important for symbolizing. By the sow’s head with the flies, it said “Lord of the flies…” and by that the beautiful place turned into the scary and horrible place to me. Just by the sentence of that existence of sow’s head, the setting seemed to change the whole things. This setting was very impressive to me because it was the beginning of kids getting killed by other guys. The sow’s head with the flies symbolized the situation which the kids were involved in this island. The place where the sow’s head was, was really meaningful and impressive to me.
